Abstract
Bilateral nephrectomy selectively augments reactivity to pressor drugs and affects that to angiotonin the most prominently. This change is not mediated through the central nervous system, does not depend upon mechanical exclusion of the renal vascular bed, and is not modified by change in sodium intake. The inhibitory action on pressor responsiveness is independent of renal excretory function.
